5642m. Standard Route from Barrell huts (3850M0 via pashtuva rocks (4600m). A camp on the Morraine or at the higher hut around 4100m is recommended as a base. The climb is huge. Do not underestimate the resiliance required to get up Elbrus - it goes on forever. Acclimatise well. The altitude and weather conditions make it a serious, though technically straightforward, undertaking. Exposure is greatest above the saddle (5300m), although the most dangerous part of the route is probably the interminable approach ramp to the saddle which in poor visibility is indistinct enough to disorientate and hangs above crevasses.
